In Focus: See Kelsey Merritt's Journey To The Victoria's Secret Runway

Back in May 2018, Kelsey shared that she booked her dream shoot with Victoria's Secret!

Here she is in her first ever modelling stint for Victoria's Secret Sport.

Not long after, Kelsey instantly got to work with legendary VS photographer Rusell James.

Looking all sultry at the shoot, Kelsey is definitely born for this job!

Kelsey also worked extremely hard at the Angel-approved gym in New York called Dog Pound.

There's no wonder why she's got this flawlessly fit bod!

This sweetheart also made it to the homepage of Victoria's Secret. That's our girl!

With all those modelling jobs for the brand, she's well qualified for a spot at the VS Fashion Show.

Not to be biased, but we knew it wasn't such a long shot.

True enough, Kelsey soon found out that she's about to live her dreams as a VS runway model!

From then on, she only booked more and more photo sessions with the brand.

Of course, Kelsey got an even more intense workout routine to prep for the show.

This girl was training like an Angel... and serving workout OOTD inspo in between!

The pay-off from all that hard work is definitely showing!

As the show date looms in, Kelsey was spotted at the VS HQ for some fitting. This outfit was bomb!

Here she is lighting up the streets of New York like a true Angel.

The day of the final rehearsal came, making Kelsey's dream more real than ever!

And now, here we are on the day of the taping! This backstage beauty is breathtaking!

Kisses from this Fil-Am wonder!

A total "pinch me" moment, Kelsey was just, y'know, casually hanging with THE Adriana Lima!

Stepping on the runway for the first time, Kelsey appeared on the PINK segment in this cute outfit!

We're so proud of you, Kelsey! Here's to seeing you again next year! With wings, perhaps?

Go spread the #KelseyMadeItToVS love!

It wasn't so long ago when our very own Kelsey Merritt announced that she's officially walking for the 2018 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and will be basically living the dream of every other girl on the planet. With her sweet-meets-sultry appeal and bubbly personality, there's little wonder why this Fil-Am hottie was confirmed to be joining the ranks of supermodels and seasoned Angels such as Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, and Behati Prinsloo.

Finally, the day that she could barely imagine happening has arrived. In the city where big dreams come true, Kelsey surely lived hers to the fullest as she stepped on the New York runway of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, making our hearts swell with utmost pride!

Kelsey perfectly documented the big day on her Instagram page, complete with backstage snaps during hair and makeup preps and getting hyped up with her fellow VS models. She was even lucky enough to take a photo with the Adriana Lima on her final show with VS!

As any VS rookie, Kelsey debuted on the runway during the PINK segment, wearing silver sporty coords while flaunting her toned bod. Yas, our girl made it!
